The international joint design education in architecture disciplines at universities aligns with the cutting-edge concepts and technologies of global architectural education, laying a solid talent foundation for enhancing the international influence and leadership of China’s architectural industry. This paper uses CiteSpace and VOSviewer as tools to analyze relevant literature on international joint design education in architecture disciplines from the CNKI and Wanfang databases, as well as proceedings from academic conferences on architectural education in Chinese higher institutions. It maps out the knowledge framework in this field, explores the research development trends in international joint design education since 2003, summarizes the teaching models and core concepts, and provides an outlook on its future development.
